MORLEY ON THE STUMP.
CHAMBERLAIN ASKED TO UNMASK
HIS POLICY.


Gladstones Assent to the Modifica-
tions Declared All That Anybody
Gould Want-Parsons and Publicans
Declared the Pillars of the Tory
Party-Irsh Issues First of All.
LONDON Oct. IA great Liberal demon-
stration was held at Tempelcombe, Dorset
shire, to-day. Twenty thousand persons were
present, Somerset, Hants and Willis send
ing contingents. John Morley, who was
the chief speaker, replied to Mr.. Chamber
lains recent speechsat Birmingham. He do
MED that the Gladstonian position was not
perfectly clear The Liberals, he said, stood
with their feed upon a rock. Mr..
Gladstone had announced his assent
to the notifications of his original home
rule plan, and every one of his colleagues
who had been concerned in preparing the
bill had also cordially assented. What
more did anybody want to know? He was
amazed that MIR Chamberlain did not pro-
duce his own plan. [Cheersl Was Mr..
Chamberlain against home rule altogethere
The Gladstonians wanted to know also
what Radicals like Mr. Chamberlain thought
about the doings at Mitchellstown, Ennis
and other places
PosTPoNEMENT IMPOSSIBLE.
As for Mr.. Chamberlain's urging post
ponement of Irish for English legislation,
the position of Ireland, the speaker said,
would not allow Parliament to deal with
other affairs. The ship of state was in
storm, and was surrounded by tumultous
waves. There was only one way ofmaklng
port, to summon back the old pilot.
LCheers] Much was said about
the waste of time by Par
lament. Mr.. Chamberlain had referred
TO the question of dsestablishment as ripe
for settlement, but what waste of time
would be sogreat as to ask Parliament, a ma
jority of whose members are Tories, to dis
cuss disestablishment AS for the UnionistS,
rather. than let Mr. Gladstone go back to
power they would establish and Sndow the
devil and all his angels. Disestabishment,
liquor, crime and free schools were all
liberal questions.
TORIES WANT HELP.
Would the Tories forward thems [Cries
of "Never."1 Mr.. Chamberlain used to de-
clare that the two great pillars of the Con
servative party were the pais<,n and the
publican. The country would not get these
reforms from the Tories till grapes were
gathered from thistles and figs from thorns.
[Cheers1 When the Irish question was set
tied the Liberals would take up the reforms
and would soon effect them. Resolutions
were passed expressing confidence in Mr..
Gladstone and demanding justice for
Ireland. The meeting was full Of
enthusiasm and was the largest ever held
by the Liberals Of the South of England.
A LEAGUE MEETING.
DUBLIN, Oct William O'Brien, Lord

Landsdowne at Laggacuran without the

Sharon in the well known suit against the

the defendants counsel, who was an
ex-Judge during the trial of the case in the
Superior Court, offered Judge Sullivan,
before whom the case was tried, a check,
duly signed, with the amount left out to be
filed in by the Judge, if he could be
tempted to accept bribe, with such sum
as he chose as consideration for deciding the
case in favor of the defendants The only
one of Senator Sharon's counsel, who
is ex-Judge Oliver p Evans, it
is understood, called on Judge Sullivan
after the affidavit had been made public
and demanded TO know if he was authority
for the statement, but Judge Sullivan de-
clined a definite answer. This is the cul-
mination of a series of sensational episodes
growing out of the Sharon case, and the
affidavit of Judge Terry has created great
sensation in this city,

Petroleum and Sawdust Mixed With
Coal Used in Vermont.
BELLOWS FALLS, VT, Oct 1.-The
increase in the cost of coal caused by the
Interstate commerce law regarding trans
portation leads large consumers to test the
relative merits of other kinds of fuel. A
prominent manufacturing concern here,
which formerly averaged 100 tons of coal
per week, has purchased train of cars
for bringing sawdust here, which
they mix with the different qualities
of soft coal. They are now
using less than twenty-five tons per week.
William Robinson a. Sons, of Putney, are
using crude petroleum. A three weeks
trial has yielded satisfactory results as to
expense, petroleum costing but 81 81 per
barrel shipped them in tank cars. This is
the only place in New England where this

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-The Times Knoxville
Tenn special says: "A sensational tragedy,

this afternoon. W. e. T. Millburn, MEM
ber Of the Legislature from Greene county,
shot and instantly killed a young man
named William Ward, son of Betsy Ward,

grew out of speech made
by Millburn at Greeneville a week

was whisky seller and Jail bird, and that
another saloonkeeper was an ex-penitentiary
convict Young Ward took the remark as
an insult to his mother, and it is said threat

himself and waited for an attack,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-Congressman Nc
Adoo, of New Jersey, was Mr.. Randall's
principal lieutenant in the House last Con-
gress. This gives a peculiar interest to an
interview with him, which is published this
evening. He expressed the opinion that
there would be a revision of the tariff by
the House this winter, and said: "Some
concessions must be made, but there is no
reason why the Democrats cannot come to-
gether and act in harmony the coming
session If they do not, it will not be the
fault of the protectionsts. l see they are
pointing to coal as an example of the effect
of protection. | am perfectly willing to
vote to take the tariff off of coal. The re-
peal of the tobacco tax is bound to come

anyhow, but it will strengthen Mr.. Carlisles

ASHLAND, Pa, Oct. Three men and
two boys were suffocated and thirteen
noon in thc Post colliery. A pillar in the
west mammoth gangway gave way, bring
ing with it a large amount of gas, which
sutfocated the workmen and rendered
escape impossible to Those in that
gangway. The men in the neigh
boring breast heard tremendous
rush Of air, and escaped by fleeing to the
bottom of the slope. 1t is feared that some

deadly gas, will die. The pecuniary dam
age to the colliery cannot be estimated at
present. 1t is one of the Philadelphia and
Reading Company's largest collieries.

New YORK. Oct. 1.-The Scotchnen on
the Thistle seemed to be a little discon-
certed this morning. They were in pretty
good humor, although unable to satisfac-
torily explain to themselves how their cutter
was so badly beaten. Mr. Bell still insisted
that the twenty miles to windward, and re-
turn course is unfair and he would
like to meet the Volunteer in a
run to leeward alone. He says the Thistle
will enter any contest with the big sloops
where the course suits him. He prefers a
square course, and would accept triangle.
He says he did not expect to win yesterday,
yet did not give up the race until o'clock.
A miscalculation as to the position of the
outer mark was made, and by this several
minutes were lost.
